Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 522 Straight to the Point
Xia Mengmeng did this to ensure the filming went smoothly, and also to put her mind at ease, hoping that the protective bell would protect her. But the problem just happened with this bell.

Fortunately, Yunxi saw through the trick and dispersed the female ghost when she used Xia Mengmeng's body to absorb her life essence. The bell could not withstand Yunxi's attack and shattered on the spot.

In fact, Yunxi had already guessed that after the bell broke, besides the bell's owner Xia Mengmeng, the person who tampered with the bell would also notice, because Xia Mengmeng was just an ordinary person and she didn't have that ability.

As it turned out, Yunxi's prediction was accurate. However, Xia Mengmeng was more perceptive than she had expected. She noticed her own predicament and, with just a word from her, had her assistant stop her. She was a decisive person.

Although Xia Mengmeng looked exhausted, she couldn't help but smile as she saw Yun Xi, whose beauty was still undeniable even after changing into a simple white dress, and boarded the RV.

Lanlan, the assistant behind her, was once again amazed. She exclaimed that people are just different. A plain white dress without any decorations looked much more classy on the master. It can only be said that one face can make all the difference.

“Master, I’ve finished here. Xiao Ruixiang said he has already made an appointment with Master Yu and asked me to go there directly after I finish filming.”

"Okay, I'll accompany you there as your assistant in a bit."

After hearing this, the assistant Lan Lan paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then spoke:

"Master, with your looks and demeanor, you don't look like an assistant at all."

Yunxi smiled after hearing this. The little girl was quite eloquent. Under their gaze, she gently touched her cheek, and amidst their quiet gasps of surprise, she changed her face to one that bore a five-point resemblance to Lanlan. Then, she smiled and said:

"I'm Lanlan's cousin, and I'm covering for her today."

"Oh! Hmm! Okay!"

Xia Mengmeng and Lan Lan uttered these three words almost simultaneously.

Xia Mengmeng patted her chest. She was certain that she had met a true master. If she had any doubts before, they were gone now.

Lan Lan respectfully took out her unopened new phone from her handbag and handed it to Yun Xi:
"Master, this is a new phone. The internal SIM card must be registered under a real name. I registered a new one using my own ID."

"Okay, thank you."

Yunxi is currently an unregistered resident, so she gladly accepted the other party's kindness.

Meanwhile, Xia Mengmeng quickly changed out of her costume and into a red suit. She put her long hair up and didn't need to wear makeup. With a tired face from staying up all night, she got into her car with Yunxi.

Xia Mengmeng remained somewhat silent throughout the journey. She couldn't afford to be distracted while filming, but now that she had set the car to autopilot, she spoke to Yunxi, who was observing the car's interior:
"Master, do you think Ruixiang was deceived? Did that Master Yu take advantage of him?"

Yunxi looked at the vehicle self-driving system, which far surpassed that of Earth, and simply tilted her head, saying:
"A woman's intuition is the sharpest. You must have sensed something a long time ago, which is why you reacted that way back then. Now you're trying to convince yourself with excuses. Why bother?"

"I"

Xia Mengmeng could only utter one word before she could no longer speak.

After a long pause, she sighed and said:

"I've been with Ruixiang for seven years, and we've reached the point of discussing marriage. I've also decided to step back from the limelight after we get married so I can better take care of my family."

But whenever I bring this up, Ruixiang advises me to act for a few more years, saying he can't bear to see me waste my talent, nor does he want to see me trapped in family琐事 (trivial matters).

"Your income is definitely higher than his."

Yunxi said incisively.

Xia Mengmeng fell silent; clearly, she had already realized it, but was unwilling to admit it.

"Women are always too emotional, while men are more realistic. In the end, you're only the one who gets moved!"

Yunxi just couldn't understand why she, with her looks, money, career, and social status, would cling to a crooked tree.

Silence fell over the car. Xia Mengmeng didn't speak again, and Yunxi, not one to play the role of a caring older sister (her current persona was that of a master driver), took out her phone and began searching for driving instructions. An hour later, Yunxi had basically mastered the driving skills, and the car happened to stop in front of an old, quaint house. The car door opened automatically, and Xia Mengmeng took a deep breath and got out first, followed closely by Yunxi. Looking at the old house shrouded in ghostly energy, she frowned.

Xia Mengmeng rang the doorbell familiarly. The door opened automatically, and the two of them entered one after the other. After passing through the courtyard, they entered a somewhat gloomy hall.

The hall was designed in an antique style, with antique tables and chairs and carved beams and painted pillars, but inconspicuous places were traces of technology, giving Yunxi a strange and incongruous feeling.

There were already two people in the hall. One of them was wearing a well-tailored gray striped suit. When he saw Xia Mengmeng, he immediately came out to greet her, took her hand, and looked her up and down, as if to check on her condition.

The one sitting steadily should be Master Yu, whom Xia Mengmeng mentioned. He was holding a string of black beads in his hand, which he was slowly turning. He was also wearing a black Chinese-style long gown and trousers. His shrewd little eyes were scrutinizing Xia Mengmeng. As if he had discovered something, his hand, which was turning the beads, paused for a moment.

"Mengmeng, are you alright?"

"I was terrified. I barely managed to hold on until the scene was finished before I rushed over."

Xia Mengmeng replied with a haggard expression.

Xiao Ruixiang helped Xia Mengmeng to a seat before looking at Yun Xi, frowning as he said:

"Why isn't Lanlan with you? Who is this?"

"She is Lanlan's cousin. She took care of me for a day because Lanlan had something come up."

Ruixiang glanced at Yunxi but didn't press the matter further. He then turned to Master Yu at the head of the table and said:

"Master, please help Mengmeng, what's wrong with her? She hasn't had any problems since she got the bell you gave her, why is she having problems again now?"

Master Yu coughed lightly and said:

"Ms. Xia, could you tell me how the bell I gave you broke?"

Xia Mengmeng looked at Yunxi, who then stepped forward and recounted what she had done. Of course, she wasn't the main character; she was speaking from Lanlan's perspective.

Master Yu quickly grasped the key point and immediately asked:

Where did that woman with the umbrella go?

"do not know."

Why didn't you stop her?

"I can not."

Yunxi answered fluently and was quite single.

Xiao Ruixiang frowned and said:

"I think you're just here to coast along. You're nothing like Lanlan. If it were Lanlan, she would definitely stop people."

Yunxi thought for a moment and then nodded. Lanlan had indeed stopped her, but she still muttered:
"The scene was so scary that even if you were there, you might not have dared to stop people. What right do you have to criticize me? I didn't see you accompanying Sister Xia to the night filming location."

Being scolded by crickets in front of him made Xiao Ruixiang somewhat displeased. He was about to speak when Master Yu stopped him, taking out a brown bell from his pocket and saying:

"This is something I reforged after receiving the call. You shouldn't encounter anything similar again after you wear it."

Yunxi stepped forward, took the bell, glanced at it, and then crushed it. As the bell shattered, all four people present heard a shrill scream.
